Simon McBurney has been cast as Kreacher the House-elf’s voice-over in Deathly Hallows, according to his casting agency.  Timothy Bateson voiced Kreacher in Order of the Phoenix; but as we can see by this Simon is replacing him.

Last night Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) attended the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards at Indigo at the o2 Arena in London, England.  He mentioned it on Twitter:

I’m at the metal hammer awards in London at the moment. They cool guys in Shinedown gave me a lift down in their tour bus, wicked guys!

I had a brilliant day yesterday, the awards were good fun and managed to make the last train home. Bit of golf today.
